In 2018, on the way home from work, Naseem was run over by a car three times (yes, really!). The accident left her with a traumatic brain injury and forced her to confront her own definition of strength and the identity she had worked tirelessly to build.

You Are Not Alone 2025
Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering. In our fast-paced society, where productivity often takes precedence over personal well-being, the silent echoes of trauma can reverberate through generations, affecting not just individuals but entire communities. Recognizing and addressing trauma is not just a personal journey but a societal imperative, as healing can lead to more compassionate and resilient communities.
In the Fall of 2020, OMA brought together a panel of survivors to meet monthly and discuss their own individual traumas and journeys of healing. For four years, our panel covered a variety of topics and evolved into an amazing therapeutic journey for each person that shared their most intimate and vulnerable parts of themselves with the OMA community hoping to share the message that not only is healing from trauma possible, it is also a profoundly transformative experience.
As we move into this new year, we want to expand the work that has been done under the banner of You Are Not Alone (YANA) by offering trauma-informed trainings, lectures, workshops, and seasonal gatherings. Some of these offerings will come from our panel, but we are also reaching out to others in our community that have something special to offer to the healing discussion.
Healing from trauma is a complex journey, but with the right support and understanding, individuals can find a path to recovery. Trauma affects individuals differently, so the need to offer a wide variety of support is indicated. Our goal is to foster discussions around holistic health, safety, transparency, community, empowerment, choice, and the need for systemic change.
